[QUOTE="roundel, post: 21085, member: 176000"] With help from a number of people on various boards (especially Rolf here), I'm now very happry to confirm I have BBC channels back again. Here's how. 1. The "Easy way". For BBC2, use one of the BBC2 nations on 960 and up. For BBC1, you can use the manual tuning. Set parameters to - 10.847 - V - 22.0 - 5/6 This carries BBC1 LONDON. It's still on 2D though, so won't help you if you are outside of 2Ds footprint, but it is not on the "faulty" transponder that the rest of the BBC channels are. There is still the problem of missing BBC3/4/N24 etc so... 2. The "Hard way" Find a ladder. Seriously, it was amazingly easy. All I had to do was to loosen one of the two LNB screws slightly, and there was a delighted scream from indoors :D Very careful re-tightening, and voila! It's been said that it only needs a millimetre or two of error in the rotation of the LNB on the dish arm to lose this transponder. I'm certainly happy now, and it's saved me paying Sky! One major problem though... whilst I was up the ladder, something happened. My Sky+ planner is now empty. Oh well, I'd watched most of it anyway! J. [/QUOTE]
